When the container starts, you'll be asked to sign in interactively. Prepare your phone number, your 2FA code, and your Telegram Cloud password. When done, press Ctrl-C.

$ mkdir statusbot-telegram-data
$ docker run -it \
    -v $(pwd)/statusbot-telegram-data:/app/data -p7000:8080 \
    -e APP_ID=... -e APP_HASH=... \
    --name "telegram-statusbot" kolypto/go-telegram-statusbot
